Sheriff Pounds created the Scorpion unit to deploy into high-crime areas of the county to show criminals he means business. The officers drive the most state-of-the-art patrol cars and will possess all the necessary equipment and training to accomplish their objectives. They suppress crime in hot spot areas throughout the county through intel, presence, and traffic enforcement. In their first month, the unit made 40 arrests: 19 misdemeanors and 21 felonies.
